macOS c programmers help

You're setting answer to be a value that's equal to what its current value times base is. The '=' is not the algebraic equal sign, it is a sign that means "get".

ok...thanks alot that is alot clearer..

one last problem its taking the 2nd input scanf before the second printf how come?

Please enter a number:2
2
Please enter an exponent:4
q2 has exited with status 0.

I'm actually not sure. The code looks correct, but I'm not familiar with plain C.

Just take out the \n in the first scanf, so it looks like this

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	int answer = 1, base, exponent, i;

	printf("Please enter a number: ");
	scanf("%d", &base);
	printf("Please enter an exponent: ");
	scanf("%d", &exponent);

	for (i = 0; i < exponent; i++)
	{
		answer=base*answer;
	}
	printf("%d", answer);
	printf ("\n");
	
	return 0;
}

thanks alot for your help

one last question what is the best code to use to make the window stay open at the end of the program...i used return 0, or getch() at school are those acceptable in the world of c?

 

[CaptainZap]

What do you mean stay open? What are you using to compile and run your program?

these are ridiculously easy and common problems. google it. I'm sure you'll find many solutions whether you like it in a for loop, recursive, while loop, etc.

anyone get me started?

Have you talked to your teacher? They do get paid to teach you.
